Annual general meeting 2024: all proposals of the board of directors
approved
At today's annual general meeting (AGM) of Bucher Industries AG, the
shareholders agreed to all the proposals put forward by the board of
directors. The dividend is CHF 13.50 per registered share. 187 shareholders
with voting rights were present and a total of 75.92% of the votes were
represented.
At the annual general meeting, which was held today at the Mövenpick Hotel
in Regensdorf, the Group reported that 2023 had been a very successful
financial year. Thanks to the hard work of the employees, sales could be
kept at prior-year level, while the profit for the year was once again above
the high figure of the previous year. The company also provided information
on a wide range of measures implemented at various sites last year to reduce
the Group's carbon footprint.
The shareholders then approved all the proposals of the board of directors
and adopted the report on non-financial matter, which was submitted for
approval for the first time. They confirmed all members of the board of
directors and of the compensation committee who were standing for election
and elected Urs Kaufmann to succeed Philip Mosimann as chairman. Philip
Mosimann did not stand for re-election as he had reached the age limit set
in the articles of association. Anita Hauser, deputy chairwoman, thanked him
in the name of the board of directors, the Group management, and the Hauser
family for the tremendous achievements of his 23 years of successful
commitment. The meeting bid him farewell to great applause.
The approved dividend of CHF 13.50 per registered share takes into account a
consistent dividend policy, the profit for the year, the solid financial
position, the outlook for the current year as well as further internal and
external investment opportunities. The dividend will be paid out to the
shareholders on 24 April 2024. The share will trade ex-dividend from 22
April 2024 onwards.
The following documents relating to the 2024 annual general meeting are
